Sony Corporation, law firm Hogan Lovells and the US Department of Justice
have defrauded the United States

Sony Computer Entertainment (since April 2016 assignee of Sony Computer Entertainment is Sony Interactive Entertainment) is the manufacturer of game consoles PlayStation Vita and developer of said game consoles worldwide.

Sony Interactive Entertainment and Sony Corporation as parent company for Sony Interactive Entertainment get income from sales of game consoles PlayStation Vita worldwide.

At the end of 2011 Sony Corporation and Sony Computer Entertainment have got to know that the invention protected by the patent of the Russian Federation No.2427879 (hereinafter called as 'the patent No.2427879') is used in game console PlayStation Vita and became legal obstacle in the way of sales of game consoles PlayStation Vita in Russia.

In order not to pay compensation to owners of the patent No.2427879 for the patent infringement damages Sony Corporation, Sony Computer Entertainment and Hogan Lovells (CIS) conspired to combine their financial, corporate, professional and administrative opportunities to undertake any possible acts, including illegal, to remove said legal obstacle in order to ensure sales of game consoles PlayStation Vita in Russia and thus to ensure unjust enrichment of Sony Corporation and Sony Computer Entertainment. Sony Electronics (that is Sony Group company in Russia) and Hogan Lovells (CIS) have been involved to implement said conspiracy.

In order to invalidate the patent No. 2427879 and thus to ensure unjust enrichment of Sony Group companies:
- Sony Electronics and Hogan Lovells (CIS) knowingly, willfully and repeatedly falsified evidence, committed fraud upon the courts, concealed from the courts circumstances relevant to the lawsuit, corrupted and bribed the Russian government officials, committed FCPA violations, committed a large number of acts of racketeering activity,
- By committing a large number of acts of racketeering activity Sony Corporation, Sony Computer Entertainment (and then Sony Interactive Entertainment), Hogan Lovells US LLP, Hogan Lovells International LLP, their top managers, employees, partners and lawyers knowingly, willfully and repeatedly aided Sony Electronics and Hogan Lovells (CIS) to commit said wrongdoing.

In order to avoid liability for committed crimes:
In violation of the US federal statute as well as by committing a large number of acts of racketeering activity Sony Corporation, Sony Computer Entertainment (and then Sony Interactive Entertainment), Sony Electronics, Hogan Lovells US LLP, Hogan Lovells International LLP, Hogan Lovells (CIS), their top managers, employees, partners and lawyers knowingly, willfully and repeatedly concealed said crimes from DOJ and thus repeatedly defrauded the United States.

In violation of the US federal statute, the United States Department of Justice
(1) refused to investigate information which evidence that Sony Group companies, Hogan Lovells, their top managers, employees, partners and lawyers committed a large number of federal offenses, (2) concealed said federal offenses, (3) concealed said misconduct inside DOJ and (4) aided Sony Group companies and Hogan Lovells to commit said crimes and to avoid liability for committed crimes. By doing that the United States Department of Justice repeatedly defrauded the United States and thus has ensured unjust enrichment of Sony Group companies.
Reliability of aforementioned statement is confirmed by evidence disclosed in the complaint and documents D1-D198 (see left column).
